Summer Background

Sunday, November 30

So.. I hope everyone Thanksgiving was as great as mine. I never did get around to doing any of the things I thought about doing; but hey there is always next year. Some of the food we had was turkey, homemade stuffing, candied yams, sweet potatoes, green beans with breading, cauliflower with breading, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, salad, broccoli, cucumber salad, and corn. We took a whole bunch of pics which I will be able to post later.

I also went shopping the day after and thank goodness that we invited someone along to come with me and Dennis otherwise I would not of woken up in time to get to the store for the good deals. The store employees seemed very crabby. My first stop was walmart which had a ton of stuff and was 10x more busy than last year. Alot of the employees tried to stop you front putting stuff in your cart before 5 am but that did not stop me or any of the other eager shoppers and evetually the walmart empoloyees just let us all be. I will say even though there were a few mis-understanding (which I wont even get into) the day was not all that bad.

So I thought I am going to have off for 4 days and I figured at least Thanksgiving morning I could sleep until 7, but who was I kidding ; I guess I wont complain to much because I did get to sleep a little longer this morning and did go to bed earlier last night; but my point that I am trying to make is my kids all week long hate getting up early, they fight me on it, lets just face it people its a pain in the butt most morning. So.. why is it when kids/parents have days off they feel the need to be up at the crack of dawn; seriously whats up with that. Kids must have this timer in their bodies that tells them mommy and daddy are trying to catch a few extra z's or something and that they need to be woken up. OK thats enough now to the important stuff I just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving and hope all is well and safe if your traveling. Try not to eat to much turkey even though it can be addicting.

I just want to say my favorite part of Thanksgiving is Family and than the food. I love to prepare the meal (even though it can be a pain the rump), and try to have fun doing it; I am going to try something a little different this year at dinner time ; I saw these really cool crafts at one of my favorite sites that I am going to attempt to get everyone to do. I will let you know how that works. Well I guess I better get ready and get to my mother in laws because instead of having Thanksgiving in my small place we are actually going to to it where we have room to roam.

OK everyone HAPPY THANKSGIVING

So.. I want to know how many of you are going to be shopping the Day after Thanksgiving or will you be staying in bed where its nice & warm? NOT ME I am going to be one of those crazy shoppers that if you dont watch out you just might get run over. I will do what it takes to get "that" item. I am really excited now that I found out what the stores are going to be having. Want a hint as to how I found this out just follow this link:http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/I think I will end up starting out at Wal-Mart like I did last year; the nice thing is; is that you can wait inside at least the one by my house you can. I am finally truly getting excited about the holidays approaching. Between christmas shopping (even on a budget), putting up the christmas tree, decorating the tree and listening to christmas music has really gotten me going. I will have to post some pics of our house all decorated up with garland around the celings. Well I will talk to everyone later. Take care.

So.. I thought I would share a little story about this morning when I was getting the kids off for school. My husband left his crutches in the van and of course Jared is curious and asks me "whats that" ; well Haley ended up answering before I could and says "crotches" I start laughing a little and I say "NOOOO Haley that is crutches." Of course shes curious to being 9 years old and all so she asks me "what is a croch?" I explain to her that it is a female part down there and she says "well what do boys have?" So I thought about this for a moment before I answered and I said "boys have a penis" and of course still curious she says "do they pee out of it to?" I say "Yes Haley but we are not talking about this at school " and I change the subject.

So this morning as I was getting up for work my little Jared woke up and came downstairs thinking we were going to get to cuddle together; well I told him right away I said "Jared mommy is going to take a shower now" "No mom you cuddle wif me", "Ahhh Jared but mommy has to get up" "no you cuddle wif me" "Ok for a few minutes and than I HAVE to get up" "ok" so we lay there for a few minutes I try to turn and get up and here plop right in my face is a hand and where is his hand going but right around my neck. I think he squeezed so tight I was losing circulation. So I lay there for a couple more minutes thinking ok any minute now hes going to go back to sleep before he has to actually get up. NOPE. I start to get up again and his hold around my neck gets a tad bit tighter so I say "Jared its time to get up, do you want to watch cartoons while mommy takes a shower?" "No mom its dark" of course than I had to lay there a little while longer. So eventually he let me off the hook I go to take a shower and I give him a cupcake or as he likes to call it a muffin. I put the TV on go to take my shower and think oh no big deal hes going to watch cartoons and eat his "muffin" ; I get out of the shower come downstairs and what do I see powered sugar all over the table and what else oh yes 6 powered sugar doghnuts; how you ask he got powered sugar doghnuts well he decided to climb the pantry to get something he wanted to eat. I say to him "Jared OH MY GOODNESS, this is WAY to many" "No siwwy mommy" So we agreed if he could eat 2 he could have more; he only took 1 bit out of 1 of the doughnuts.

Sometimes I wish I could wrap my cutie patotie up and take him with me whenever I need something to cuddle with especially this morning. GOOD NIGHT

Today is Haley's birthday and exactly at 11:15 am she will be 9; can you beleive it I cant. I have attached some pics from all the way back when she was a baby until now, which makes me want to cry to see how much shes grown. Were having a small surprise birthday party for her tonight so hopefully she will be really surprised especially since she does not think we are doing anything. Well hope you enjoy the pictures.

Dear Haley,

I want to say how I glad to be your mother, you make me laugh and happy as a mother. I want to wish you a Very Happy Birthday. From the time you were born I have loved you so much. Your a bright and energetic young spirit who has a way of making others around her put a smile on their face. So with this being said : Happy Birthday To You; Happy Birthday To YOu; Happy Birthday Dear Haley; Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday Dear Haley.

LOVE MOMMY

So I have to tell you when voting today I was pretty confident with my vote. I almost felt like I was taking a test when I filled in the lines for some of the local candidates for Wisconsin. I did watch the coverage both on ABC and FOX to see how each state voted and what color they got; blue or red. I know I am extremely excited that Governer Sarah Palin did not have a mere chance to get in office to be Vice President; boy would we be in trouble if she did. This whole 2008 Election thing has been really exciting for alot of people; I know my husband will be glad I wont keep reminding him that Tuesday is voting day; I am sure hes sick of hearing me remind him.

About Me

WELCOME; Glad you could stop by.
Dennis & I have 3 beutiful children together who pretty much run our lives. Haley is our oldest she loves music, softball, volleyball and playing her clarinet. Jared is a spitting image of his father, loves taking things apart and trying to put them back together, and is always curious how things work; and Natalie well shes Natalie; shes shy when she wants to be and loud when she wants to be, she loves doing what her brother and sister are doing, and loves school.
